Game of Thrones: Holy Sword of Light

Chapter 28 Take your money and leave my island!
Pentos across the Narrow Sea.

The Red God Temple is located on the hillside in the middle of this city-state. Its temple is very spacious, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. This is the headquarters of the Red God, and almost all the people believe in the Red God.

The temple was built extremely luxuriously, and the golden dome shone with dazzling light, symbolizing fire and light.

The whole city here also likes red and gold.

In the Red Temple.

The red-robed girl, Melisandre, is practicing blood magic in a sacrificial hall. The blood she uses comes from the "offering" of some believers. The red blood burns and rises in the brazier, showing various illusions .

"Blood and fire come from the same source..."

Melisandre's eyes shone with magnificent flames. She opened her hands, revealing her perfect figure. The red robe revealed her curves, and the blood-red gemstone hanging around her neck shone even brighter.

Her skin is as white and tender as mutton fat white jade, her hair is dark brown, her brows are high and cold with a glamorous beauty that does not eat the fireworks of the world, but her amber eyes are like a raging fire.

In the flames, she saw Jon riding a white wolf with a flaming sword in his hand.

She sees Jon conquering the giant tribe in the flames.

She saw the scene of Guangming Island being under construction in full swing in the flames...

"Blood comes from fire, and fire is hotter."

"Jon Wright, are you the Son of Prophecy!?"

Melisandre murmured to herself, her eyes revealed a deep and empty look, as if accumulated over a long period of time...

"I will find the light for my lord and serve you..."

……

In the same city, in Illyrio's mansion, he held the information from the other side of the narrow sea, frowning.

The governor of Pentos is a rich man. He has a lot of wealth from smuggling with the seven countries across the strait, of which wine trade accounts for more than half, and the wine of Pentos sells well in the seven countries. Arrived at Difficult Village where the savages gather.

Grain, wine, honey, and salt are the staples of Pentos' wealth.

Now, the sky has changed...

During this time, a new type of wine emerged.

vodka.

This kind of wine is as fast as fire, it tastes like a flame is burning in the heart, and it is very high. The raven who sent the information not only brought the parchment, but also a small bottle of this wine, and a little perfume.

As a mature businessman, Illyrio certainly knows how violent these two things are. If there is no accident, vodka will soon occupy the vast northern market and enter the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, because King Robert is so addicted to alcohol. Life.

And the perfume...

Damn it, how can there be such a small bottle of something, but it has such a long-lasting and strong fragrance, is this magic! ?
Illyrio is even more annoyed by the fur and grain business. The northern border and beyond the Great Wall have always been the source of Pentos fur and dumping grain. They can buy a lot of fur and fish at a very low price. Now the northern border is actually in the Under the tinkering of what is called the Bright Chamber of Commerce, the internal circulation of grain has been realized to a certain extent.

And they have a monopoly on the fur business!
The excellent source of slaves beyond the Great Wall has also become forbidden.

Illyrio couldn't tolerate this, not to mention that illegitimate son named Jon Wright actually said that he would sell him three dragon eggs...

Not many people know about the fact that he took in the brothers and sisters of the Long family. Varys on the other side of the narrow sea helped Illyrio hide it for a while. How could this illegitimate child who came out of nowhere know! ?

He angrily crumpled up the information Varys handed him, and walked to the balcony with dark eyes.

In the garden, two siblings, Viserys and Daenerys, were playing happily in the garden. Illyrio's eyes stared at the beautiful Daenerys for a long time before staring at Viserys reluctantly.

He thought for a while, turned around and found a bottle of poison in his cabinet and looked at it carefully. This poison was given to him by Varys. Varys is not only a master of intelligence, but also a top expert in poisoning. Eating food would make people delirious, even insane, he made up his mind, turned around and looked at Viserys with cold eyes.

"There will only be one Targaryen on the Iron Throne in the future, and that is my son of Illyrio, little Aegon..."

Illyrio's cheeks were ferocious, he was biting his back molars tightly, with a terrifying expression.

"Hurry up, or all my previous investments will be in vain..."

Illyrio's wife has Valyrian blood, and his son also has silver hair and purple eyes, so he has been planning to overthrow the fat man on the Iron Throne all these years, waiting for an opportunity to push his son onto it.

For this reason, he and the Iron Bank, Prince Doran of Dorne, and some forces of the Seven Kingdoms have made a long-term layout. The prosperity of the world is all for profit. If they can't control the Iron Throne, then their investment for so many years will be in vain ...

Now the taxation system of the Iron Throne is on the verge of collapse, and the Iron Bank is urging to repay the debt. If Robert’s small source of treasury, that is, the Lannister family, turns against him, then Robert will soon lose the Iron Bank and Lannister. Family financial support.

At that time, with the help of the Iron Bank, as well as the mercenaries of the Golden Company that have been raised for a long time, Dorn will help secretly, and then win over the Dothraki, taking advantage of the civil strife in the Seven Kingdoms... The scene where Aegon props himself up to the Iron Throne...

During this period of time, Illyrio has been tinkering with Viserys to agree to marry Daenerys to Khal Drogo of the Dothraki, but Viserys has always disagreed because the Targaryen family has the custom of interbreeding. He thinks that only Daenerys marrying him is the way to ensure the pure blood of the dragon clan...

Holding the poison, Illyrio made up his mind. He wanted to speed up. No matter what, he had to get rid of Viserys, the beggar prince who got in the way...

Even if she didn't marry a Dothraki, Daenerys could marry her son Aegon the Young, Illyrio thought.

……

Guangming Island.

After Jon left, although owls were used to send messages every day, after all, there were a large number of free folk living here. They were used to being free and loose outside the Great Wall, and the management cost was very high.

Although Rob is good at managing the military, it is really difficult to manage these trivial matters.

Fortunately, Bachelor of Cobain is not in vain.

Under his suggestion, Rob used the rule of iron and blood to integrate a group first, and sent all the free citizens who rebellious and disobedient to the command to the Bachelor Coburn for human experiments, and raised the awareness of supporting the spirit of light and abiding by the law. A reward for islanders.

These free folk were heavy drinkers, and a bottle of vodka certainly cheered them up in the frigid North.

Two sharp axes went down, but there was not much trouble.

But something big happened today...

Iron Bank sent someone.

When Rob heard the news, he arrived at the edge of Bright Harbor with Arya, who had withdrawn from Brightwatch and the ships transporting the free people. Bachelor Qyburn also came, and fifty soldiers of the Bright Regiment lined up to welcome them. A welcome and a show of force.

"Yaou, the manager of the Iron Bank."

The iron treasury's ship was in a typical Braavosi style, led by a middle-aged blond nobleman in robes, followed by several attendants to watch from side to side.

"Are you Lord Jon Wright!?"

Seeing Rob, Yaou, the manager of the Iron Bank, bowed slightly and greeted with a light smile.

"This is the eldest son of Lord Eddard Stark, Duke of the North, Robb Stark, who is temporarily guarding Bright Island for Lord Jon, my lord."

Bachelor Qyburn explained after bowing and saluting.

"Oh!?"

Yaou greeted Rob with a formulaic smile, and then began to look around. He was obviously taken aback when he saw the construction style of Bright Fort.

With a dignified expression, Yaou asked, "Where is Lord Jon now!?"

"He is outside the Great Wall, saving the Green Prophet. The long night is coming, my lord, the boundless cold wave is enveloped outside the Great Wall, and the wild people spread the legend of the white ghost..."

Cobain said.

"I see giants!" cried Arya now.Glared by Rob.

Yaou glanced at Arya and frowned slightly: "The Green Prophet... I know that the Green Prophet is enshrined in the Temple of Thousand Faces in Braavos..."

"We Iron Bank came here for nothing else. One is to buy the three dragon eggs in the hands of the noble knight. Second, the Iron Bank is willing to provide loans or invitations for business cooperation with Lord Jon, especially It's the kind of perfume he made..."

"Do not sell!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the sky, and everyone looked up into the sky in amazement, only to see a huge bison leather hot air balloon floating in the air and falling slowly. However, he was still hanging on the edge of the hot air balloon, and just as the hot air balloon was about to hit the ground, he jumped down with a stride.

"Brother Jon!"

"master!"

Arya and Fina looked at Jon in surprise, and rushed forward to protect his arms from left to right.

"Phew, I'm finally back, and I won't play dead again next time!"

Looking at the bright island in full swing, Jon let out a long breath, looked at the people coming from the iron bank, walked up to him, bowed his head gracefully as a greeting, and said with a smile: "If it's a loan, forget it, we don't Bad money."

"As for business cooperation!? I'm sorry, I, Jon Wright, never cared if he had money when looking for a partner, because no matter how rich he is, he can't be richer than me."

"Okay, now, take your money and leave my island!"

Jon directly issued an expulsion order to the Iron Bank.
